Smith & Wesson 22A Sm22A Extractor Removal & Installation Instructions

By Mike Coviello

The Extractor is one out of three parts that make up the Extractor Assembly. It is the hooked flat metal piece that grabs the rim of a spent case and pulls it from the chamber of the gun. Spring tension is provided by the Plunger and Spring. Familiarize yourself with the photographs of the component parts, their orientation and function. The Extractor is held and locked into place by the Plunger and Spring. Spring tension must be relieved in order to remove the Extractor.

Another view. These are the tools I used for the removal and installation procedure.

Note: Compress the Spring and plunger as far back as possible and install extractor with hooked face inboard. It should slip right in and lock into place when spring tension is released. I used my fingers and just the extractor itself to push and compress the plunger/spring back as far as it could go. The Extractor snapped into place and locked itself into position.
